The support of our conference sponsors was critical in delivering an amazing event last Friday in Brisbane. My thanks to a brilliant range of speakers delivering thought provoking and engaging presentations.
 
Organising events is never a solo endeavour, and I am thankful for the ongoing support of my Board, my colleague Sue Brown, and my members. An amazing conference admin team who went above and beyond to deliver a memorable event, a huge thank you to Sally Perez and Wayne Craven. I would also like to thank Martin Bowerman and the team at Bowerman Ventures, the Queensland Maritime Museum, the volunteers from the Penguin Restoration Project and finally, the team at the Stamford Plaza Brisbane. Our thanks to Huw Murday from DCN | Daily Cargo News for his coverage of the conference, you can access his article here: AIMS Biennial Conference 2024
